At Stanton Road, SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) is 'at the heart' of school development. Therefore, as a school we want everyone to consider the kind of people we aspire to be, the kind of world we aspire to create and the kind of education we aspire to provide.

Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural Development is promoted through all the subjects of the curriculum, through the ethos of the school and through the development of positive attitudes and values and planned time for reflection. SMSC supports, expresses and reinforces our school values, valuing all children and staff equally, and as individuals.
